Bought this TCR Comp 3 back in April this year for a steal albeit a 2012 model. I hadn't been very well for 18 months and with an extremely high cholesterol of 9 my quack advised me to get some exercise so not being a runner I quickly decided a road bike was the way forward and enjoying a new found interest!
I have to say this forum has helped me along the way and can only admire some of the gorgeous bikes!
So, life started with stock OE components listed below

I've now upgraded to Ultegra components that include
Front Mech
Rear Mech
Cassette 11-28
Chain Set 53-39
Bottom Bracket
KMC Chain
Brakes
Shimano R540 pedels

A brand new set of Mavic Ksyrium Elites that are awesome!
Black bar tape
Bontrager Affinity RL saddle
Giant cages

I'm really pleased with the bike now and enjoy nothing more to do 30-40 mile rides whenever I can. I did the London Nightrider last weekend and clocked 100k and the LTB this weekend!

Thanks for looking.
